Thanks Kyle yes that worked. Though, it got me confused a bit. I think the command line is totally separate environment when it comes to file association in mutt. In KDE when I click on PDF file I have several choice I can open it with, the default is KPDF. Mutt runs from KDE terminal windows so why can it find a single file association. I have only mailcap in: /home/joseph/.mailcap /etc/mailcap Is KDE file association connected via mime.types files? -- #Joseph
